Fullmetal Alchemist’s Creator Has a New Anime Coming Next Year (And You Can Watch the Trailer Now)

by

Hiromu Arakawa, the mastermind behind the iconic “Fullmetal Alchemist” series, is set to unveil a brand-new anime next year, giving fans an exciting sneak peek at “Daemons of the Shadow Realm”. With “Fullmetal Alchemist” being hailed as one of the most impactful anime and manga franchises ever made, it remains cherished by many. Since then, Arakawa has been involved in numerous intriguing projects, but this upcoming major anime adaptation promises to be the most eagerly awaited debut yet, revealing a fresh fantasy universe.

In the world depicted by “Daemons from the Dark Dimension,” humans possess the extraordinary power to command entities known as Daemons. Unaware of the chaos they’re about to encounter, a set of twins find themselves right in the heart of a tumultuous conflict far beyond their imaginations. The anime will premiere next year and recently revealed a new trailer featuring its key characters at the Aniplex Online Fest 2025 event held over the weekend. Here’s a sneak peek at “Daemons from the Dark Dimension” for you to enjoy.

What to Know for Fullmetal Alchemist’s Creator’s New Anime

The entities from the realm of shadows, tentatively titled “Daemons of the Shadow Realm,” are expected to make their first appearance in 2026, although a specific release date remains undetermined at present. However, it’s been reported that Crunchyroll has secured the international streaming rights for this series and plans to distribute an English-subtitled version upon release (with an English dub yet to be confirmed). The principal characters have also been revealed, with Kensho Ono voicing Yuru, Yume Miyamoto as Asa, Yuichi Nakamura portraying Dera, and Misaki Kuno providing the voice for Gabu-chan.

I’m here observing the upcoming project from Bones Film, known for their stunning works like “My Hero Academia” and “Gachiakuta.” This time, Masahiro Ando will be at the helm as director. Noburu Takagi has been entrusted with penning the scripts, while Nobuhiro Arai takes charge of the character designs. Kenichiro Suehira will compose the music for this anime adaptation. Originally published by Hiromu Arakawa with Square Enix’s Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine in 2021, the manga has been a tremendous success. With the announcement of the new anime adaptation, it’s generating even more buzz and attracting potential new fans.

What’s Special About Daemons of the Shadow Realm?

Fervor for “Daemons from the Realm of Shadows” has soared ever since it was only a manga, drawing vast crowds to Hiromu Arakawa’s latest creation. The same adoration held for “Fullmetal Alchemist” stemmed from its meticulous world-building and character development, and this trend continues with this new series. A cloak of mystery envelopes the Daemons’ realm, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming anime.

Looking ahead to next year, this upcoming franchise has all the makings of a major hit. With the creative team adapting it, there’s every reason to believe it could achieve the same level of success that “Fullmetal Alchemist” once did. However, we’ll have to wait and see if it lives up to those lofty expectations. Feel free to share your thoughts by leaving a comment below, and let’s continue the discussion in our ComicBook Forum!
